...…..

For a long time, I assumed that everyone had a title, and while I didn't expect it to be the same as mine, I did assume that everyone had their own titles, given that I had titles from the moment the primordial chronicle appeared in front of me.

But as I listened to the random conversations going on around me between the people and my men, I realised how incorrect my assumption was.

I haven't asked anyone else if they have titles, but looking at the situation from my perspective, I don't think a lot of people should.

This makes me wonder why I have titles that appear to be not common when others do not.

And I assumed my title would remain distinct from others even if most people had titles because of the names of my titles.

They were all related to the king, which was oddly my position.

Well, it was my previous position since I don't know if I can rebuild the Dawn Empire from the ground up again.

After all, my ancestors, who are now long gone, built the Dawn Empire.

I could accomplish so much, but in the end, I was just one man. I only have so much time.

If the Dawn Empire was to be set aside, even rebuilding civilization from the ground up seemed like a distant dream.

At the very least, I believe my situation here is still favourable.

At least I'm alive, and so are the people I wish were alive.

Apart from my daughter's proximity, I can't really ask for anything more.

Repositioning myself to sit better on the ground as it was where I had subconsciously fallen asleep, I noticed the change in the title section on the panel in front of me.

For one thing, when the primordial chronicle first arrived, I had two titles: [King of a Hundred People] and [King Of An Army[Hundred Men]].

I still have two titles, but they are now [King Of A Thousand People] and [King Of An Army[Hundred Men]].

The first title was the one that was altered.

It felt like a personal counter of some kind, because there were a thousand ordinary people around, and I was their king.

I'm guessing the reason the second title didn't get 'updated' despite having a little more than 600 men under me is because 1000 is the mark for it to get updated.

This thought arose as a result of everything that was going on at the time, as well as the signs that led me to believe that it was because I was a 'King' that these titles relating to a king appeared.

I also noticed that these titles were inactive, which added to my confusion about titles.

But instead of speculating, I'll simply check out the information of the titles through the primordial chronicle.

With this in mind, I focused my attention on the title section on the panel in front of me, and the texts on the panel vanished as new ones appeared.

.....

Reading the information of the titles I had on the panel in front of me, I could only stop looking at it to read it again.

I knew nothing about this new world I was entering, but even in my ignorance, I knew that this title was a treasure.

The first function of the [King Of A Thousand People] title increases my overall capabilities by 5%. It may appear insignificant, but considering that even 5% of my current self was enough to make an ordinary person appear to be a superman three years ago, this title was bound to have a greater impact in the future when I am stronger.

If I can make it that long.

Or perhaps if I raise the 'level' of the title, the effect will be stronger.

This was due to a change in the title.

It used to be [King of a Hundred People], but now it's [King of a Thousand People].

The title was changed when the number of people reporting to me increased tenfold.

So, if this thought process is correct, I can only wait for the number of people reporting to me to increase another tenfold, which would mean I would have ten thousand people, and perhaps the title would be 'upgraded'.

This is a pipe dream though. I could barely manage and take care of the situation now so having thousands of people was just going to worsen the situation instead.

This thought is still a thought though. I can only confirm if it's possible if the men under me also reach a thousand and see if the [King Of An Army[Hundred Men]] changes.

And talking about the [King Of An Army[Hundred Men]] title, the function of this title was rather powerful even if it was only 1% of what my men had but if you look at it from another angle, this title was still powerful even with the little I was getting.

The first function was to gain 1% of the primordial records of the warriors who served under my command.

This was unmistakably directed at the men beneath me.

Although it would be a while before I could level up with this function, it allowed me to just sit somewhere and let my men hunt monsters for primordial records that I would have a share of.

It might be faster if all of my men were hunting at the same time.

What I didn't know was whether this title applied to all of the men under me or just a hundred of them.

I suppose I won't be able to tell the difference until both titles are active.

With this thought in mind, I willed my thoughts through the primordial chronicle to activate both titles, and when I did, my body released an intense mana to my surroundings as I felt a little pain within me as I felt the mana within me increase.

It was painful, but I couldn't focus on it because I ordered everyone to move away from me. When the pain subsided, the mana I was releasing to the outside world vanished as exhaustion washed over me.

Before I could even inspect my status for changes, my men, Emilia, and family rushed to me, and after a few more minutes of attempting to calm these people down, I finally had time to call the primordial chronicle in my head and see the changes that had occurred in my status.

...…..

Aside from the status of the titles changing, my status remained the same, but I felt different.

As I was thinking these thoughts, I could see Emilia approaching me.

And I could tell by the look on her face that she wasn't bringing good news.

"What's the problem?" When Emilia got close enough to hear what I was saying, I immediately asked.

"They're getting hungry, sir," Emilia said slowly, looking down at her feet and twisting her fingers.

Seeing this, I smiled and asked Emilia a question that caught her off guard.

"Are you hungry as well?" I asked Emilia with a smile on my face when I saw the expression of embarrassment on her face.

"Hahaha"

"You don't have to force yourself," I said as I stood up, adding, "just take a break with the others and wait a while."

Emilia nodded and quickly ran away from my side after I gave her this command.

Sighs

'I wonder how Adara is doing now,' I thought, wondering if it was because my body was different from the normal level 1 human I was not hungry.

But just because I wasn't hungry didn't mean I had to starve others.

I told Emilia to rest first so I could give myself more time to see if more of my men would arrive.

I planned to drag it for as long as I could.

Aside from everything else, my title caused me to require more people.

Sighs

I'm not sure what I should do now.
